Expert Groups input to Commission thinking

Expert input was sought from various groups, each with a particular focus for areas which would need to be included in a successful code. BSG analysed the available research in the area of game design and pointed to a number of specific areas, including jackpots and split screen-games, in addition to reverse withdrawals8.
